    To be fair Rock tend to have a very strong connection with Willow Park at youths/mini level

    And have fielded under age teams regularly for a couple of years now but might be a few more until that is seen to have paid off at U20's level

    Some of the short to medium term planning leaves a lot to be desired. In fairness, it's a hard sell. Bottom of the Pile in 20's, slipping down the AIL. Hopefully Blaney can work the oracle again because in fairness some of the more recent long term planning and facilities investment has been really good.

    Lansdowne 7 Terenure 23

    Terenure full value for the win. A few new faces I didn’t know, but the centres were the Glenstal College captain from last year and Deegan, who used to play for Shannon

    Yeah hard to argue against that tbh. Lansdowne never got going although I thought Conal Doherty in Centre done well for his first outing with Lansdowne. First time in a long while I seen nure travel with big support to Lansdowne rd

    Barnhall 14 UCD 31 in the other Senior Cup game.

    Why are Barnhall in this, when the other 3 teams are 1A?

    They decided to enter the cup and fair play to them for doing it. Not enough clubs in Leinster do. Leinster senior cup could be a great competition but no clubs enter it anymore which is a great shame

    Fair enough, didn’t mean it to be dismissive of them, more just it didn’t stack up compared to the other 3.

    Fair enough

    Interesting to see Limerick rugby coverage of YM Nenagh game. Nearly all scorers were new signings for the cookies and theyve a few other signings as well having went all round Limerick and north munster looking for players

    Can't argue with that. Terenure were well organised and their blitz defence was very good. The young centre looked like a very decent prospect.

    Jesus Terenure are going to be spoilt for choice at 12&13 this season if they had two new lads playing there last night, will be very interesting to see who they settle on as first choice.

    On a side note RE: Lansdowne vs. Terenue.

    I'm surprised the ref signed off on the kits on the night. It was very hard to tell between the 2 sides under lights as Lansdowne were out of their usual colours.

    Interestingly, I am not sure on so maybe someone in the know could confirm what powers, if any, the ref has to compel a side to wear a different kit. Can't quite see in the laws. Suppose it would be in the comp regs....

    Yea jerseys made things pretty confusing alright. Pretty sure the ref has the right to insist on a different set of jerseys for the home team if he feels it is necessary

    Yeah ref can make the home team change. Assume Lansdowne were in their new black and white kit? And Terenure in purple black and white? Allowing that is mental

    Yeah lansdowne had the black and white stripe jersey this time while nure were in their usual. Dunno if its a trial jersey or what or if its the new home or away jersey for them this season i dunno as i do recall last year around this time lansdowne played in ballycorus v tarf and played a black jersey but was never really used after that....

    Away Jersey. Have changed kit suppliers and waiting on home jersey to arrive.

    Just looking at the pictures and its not too bad in them but I know that pitch can be a lot darker in person than in pictures so I'd say in person it could have been hard to tell them apart. Also the numbers on the Lansdowne kit are seriously hard to see. Probably a contractual thing, has to be worn once a season to get an alternate kit and best do it in a competition nobody cares about, or maybe the new home jersey hasn't arrived yet?

    Just seen the Terenure Clontarf result, that's a shock. Anyone any ideas on the teams they each had out? The Mary's UCD game was a shock too considering UCD normally take a while to get going

    Nure looking impressive. A good Terenure side is scary for the league compared to where they were last year. Have to assume Hinch, Cookies and UCD/Garryowen will be in or around bottom half of table.
